Barutiwa Newspaper resurrected via Barutiwa.com OnlineWe are pleased to announce that Barutiwa Newspaper (ISSN 1080-997x) has been resurrected via Barutiwa.com Online. Barutiwa Newspaper was a quarterly publication produced between 1992 and 1999 by Baruti M. Kamau in Cincinnati, Ohio. The publication was a forum in print with a focus on championing the voice of young African Americans. Today most African American youth are accessing the Web via their mobile phones; so we believe this is the most opportune moment to revive Barutiwa Newspaper online and encourage our youth to transform their mobile phones into a medium to get their voice heard.

We are also building an online archive of all issues of Barutiwa Newspaper published from 1992 to 1999. We believe the content that was published then is still relevant today and there is a real need to expose newer generations to such content. We are hoping to develop a highly vocal community centered around discussing that content at our forums.

White America's racism is supported by their economic domination over our people. That only exist because our people, the African-American, refuse to pursue the path of self-reliance.

This deal involves the preservation of a people destined for ruin. Indeed, African Americans serve as the bullseye on this target. Let us examine our course of activity to determine the validity of the focal point suggested. Over the years principles advocated by Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King have not only suffered regression, but pulverized to sheer lunacy with regards to respect, unity and ingenuity.

3. Commentary: The Ambiguous Politics of the Black Church: An Assessment Part 2 by Michelle Monique FergusonAs he provides no concrete explanation or cause, Marable shares statistics that the percentage of Black ministers are in a steady decline.
